fight for ourselves and our egos, and for things, only because they are there.
Existence is our responsibility just as it took the responsibility to take on us, we took on it. We are responsible for each other and this planet.
The analysis of the world and human narcissism is agreed with. It will change with time due to the pain it is causing.
Even without religion (and any other excuses) we would still be just as ugly and nasty to eachother as always.
How do you know this? Do you remember living in a world of no "religion?" What if we woke up to what we are as it revealed its self to us? Would we
not all then have the same knowledge of our selves and each other, yet still be blessed with the individuality of choice? I think this is a beautiful
future. Ugliness and nastiness will destroy its self. Love, acceptance, kindness, neutrality will survive.
Even the trees refuse to share the sun. They bend and grow roots grabbing up all the water and nutrients and sunlight they can, hopefully
weakening the trees around them... before they themselves are weakened.
Do these trees have the choice of will? Are they aware of what they are causing? Do they have a consciousness that allows them to choose? They only
grow in such a way for survival because they fear they will not survive, this fear is their focus and in focusing on this reality they create it, ergo
they cease surviving. Human's need not participate in megalomaniacal behavior, for we are blessed with choice. We have the choice to share the light
and let other trees around us grow as well, thus our roots may become entangled and we become of the same intermingled root, sucking nutrients from
the same soil and sharing with each other, surviving fairly and simultaneously without a fight: Peace for all Earth inhabitants.
Remember, those trees weaken themselves because of their attitude. Eventually there are no trees around and they become lonely, they create for
themselves a barren waste land. If alone, who is to mate with? The seed becomes steril and that selfish line of species dies out.
What the heck are we (all of us) fighting for again? What is this call to action and what is this treasure of existence?
I don't know what fighting is for either, perhaps it is brought about to inject a global awakening to Existential and cosmic consciousness?
Those
that fight, fight from fear. Those that kill, fear to be killed. Those that love do not even fear, fear. They do not know it.
I ask you because maybe you have some answers.
We all do, but I hope mine helped you in this moment that you ask for them. We all assist each other for survival: unlike the trees, we have the
opportunity to go beyond mere "survival", growing ever more into the awareness and light of love and out of the illusional darkness of fear.
May your life and the lives of many take their paths to the desired arrival. Your focus is your intention, and your intention is your creation
